I tried that once. Same thing happened to me as Redgirl- I got my period for about a week and a half (the first week I started the new pack). I was so worried that I can screwed up my body and that maybe the pill didnt work effectivly for that month. I saw my doctor about a month later and asked her if it was ok to take my pill back to back like that, and she said yes there is no problems to do it once in awhile-however you need to ensure your body can handle it. She said depending on their hormones- some women get their period anyways (for a longer extent then usual).
My doctor did said it is perfectly safe (as I mentioned once in awhile) and even if you do get your period anyways- it causes no problems and the pill is still working properly.
Hope this helps!
